It is with great pleasure that I am able to present, for the first time in Tampa Bay, a very special day of workshops with Maria Cieri, a world renown teacher from Buenos Aires.
Maria and Rodolfo Cieri were long known as one of the world's foremost proponents of Canyengue. They thrilled audiences around the world with their performances and they helped carry on this unique style of Tango by teaching at some of the world's largest Tango festivals. They were one of the featured couples at the first CITA in Buenos Aires in 1999 where I first had the pleasure of attending their classes and seeing them perform. Unfortunately, the Tango world lost Rodolfo a few years ago and Maria also stopped teaching. At CITA in 2003, Maria started teaching again and started renewing people's interest in Canyengue. This is an older style of Tango that is a very authentic representation of it's era. It is a less complicated Tango than some of the more modern styles but it has its own character that is extremely captivating. Maria will be in Tampa Bay to conduct 4 workshops in Canyengue on Saturday, July 17th. It will be well worth your effort to adjust your plans to be able to attend these classes. And for anyone coming from out of town, there will also be the Tampa Bay Tango Club's monthly milonga on that same night. Here are the details: Date - Saturday, July 17th, 2004 Location - Continental Ballroom - 6531 Park Blvd, Pinellas Park, Florida Schedule 10:00 - 11:15 - Canyengue 1 - First Level 11:30 - 12:45 - Canyengue 2 - First Level Lunch 2:00 - 3:15 - Canyengue 3 - Second Level 3:30 - 4:45 - Canyengue 4 - Second Level Due to the fact that most people are not familiar with Canyengue, I am defining the levels as follows: First Level - Beginners and early intermediate dancers, people that have been dancing Tango for 2 years or less. Second Level - People that have been intermediate for some time or are advanced dancers, people that have been dancing Tango for more than 2 years. If you are in the First Level, please register for only the first two classes. If you are in the Second Level, due to the differences with Canyengue, it would be advisable for you to register for all 4 classes. Prices: 1 class - $35 2 classes - $50 4 classes - $75 You can register by sending me an email to [email protected] You can then pay by cash when you see me, send a check made payable to Victor Crichton to 4301 106th Drive North, Clearwater FL, 33762 or you can use a credit card through Pay Pal by going to http://www.paypal.com and send it to the preceding email address. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me an email or phone me at 727-573-9271. I'm looking forward to a very interesting day of Canyengue!!!
